Just One More

I think I'm going to make it. One more outfit before PJ time this weekend. Here are my fabrics. I am making another separates ensemble. The black fabric was listed as a rayon gabardine and came from FFC. I have my doubts about the fabric content, but am happy with how it looks, feels, and drapes. The animal print is a polyester satin charmeuse from Fabric.com. The black fabric has already been transformed into this:

The skirt pattern is from the Burda Style 12/2009 issue, just like my last dress. The blouse will be a bit more complicated as I am using three different patterns to achieve my desired look. Let's hope it works out or you may only be seeing the skirt! How about a tranquil shot to close out the night or to awaken the day...may it be a peaceful one.

Such a beautiful picture! I look forward to seeing your ensemble. I am embarrassed to admit that I never thought about mixing patterns to create your own new look... I like that idea! Happy Thanksgiving!!!!

What a lovely outfit! I really...really...really like the skirt. You did a great job. I also enjoy seeing your photos of Maui, keep them coming. I'm hoping one day I'll get to see Maui in person. In the meantime, keep the photos coming.

About Me

My name is Shannon, but my siblings call me Mushy... I am a 46 year old wife and mom. I started sewing in junior high or high school on my mom's Viking. I had an amazing Home Economics teacher who taught me solid techniques. By my junior year, I had sewn a Vogue Bellville Sassoon dress, rated "advanced" for prom. Sewing runs in the family. I was bound to catch the "bug". I hope to inspire you to pursue your sewing interests as I have been inspired by others in the sewing community to pursue mine. Thanks for visiting!
